Summary Note
“`Forest Fantasies’ woven from the mysteries of fairyland, were inspired partly by the reading of Edmund Spenser’s poems, and other elfin lore, but mainly by the memories of a lovely woodland glade nestling in a quiet corner of Galloway. As tone-pictures they resemble ‘Sea Idylls’ in texture, though less advanced in difficulty.” Walter Carroll. [Introduction opposite p. 1].
